[ 1:0 ]
"Like anywhere, the big question in Ljubljana, Slovenia, is: how to entice man into ballet.
Success at last: thanks to Goran Bogdanovski, dancer and currently choreographer with the Slovenian National Ballet. His debut on January 15 was a triumph. "1:0" for Goran, the balletnik. Critics agreed he had broken the rules of classical ballet. Four male dancers in football gear danced on point. It works perfectly with studded boots that normally sink into the turf. Bogdanovski`s choice of title "1:0" allowed much scope for interpretation such as "One is None." Male members of the audience were clearly thrilled."
